abominable snowman and the scientist who says he's discovered what it is.

:00:00.:00:11.

Hi, I'm Leah with loads more on the way including. What happened when

:00:12.:00:16.

the king of tennis met the Prince of Wales and the broccoli-based footy

:00:17.:00:25.

kit that could be the worst ever. Let's start with what could be one

:00:26.:00:29.

of the most exciting scientific discoveries in years.

:00:30.:00:33.

For centuries the legend of the abominable snowman, or yeti, has

:00:34.:00:36.

terrified, people around the world. It says a half man-half mammal is

:00:37.:00:40.

hiding out in the Himalayan mountains with relatives elsewhere

:00:41.:00:44.

in the world. But there's never been any proof - until now! Because today

:00:45.:00:49.

a leading scientist says he may have figured out the mystery of the

:00:50.:00:54.

mythical beast. They've whispered it's name all over the world for

:00:55.:00:58.

generations. For years it's been hunted, in hushed tones they speak

:00:59.:01:02.

it's name, different around the globe... Sasquatch... Bigfoot..

:01:03.:01:09.

Yeti! Some claimed to have filmed it - they lied. But even that didn t

:01:10.:01:17.

stop the world's best from believing. The truth is, no-one ever

:01:18.:01:21.

knew what it was, if it exists at all - until now. I've been looking

:01:22.:01:30.

all over the world for remains of yeti, sasquatch, and putting them

:01:31.:01:34.

through rig ruse testing. In this case, the yeti fromming rants that I

:01:35.:01:39.

had, were hairs not from a species of humans but from bears.

:01:40.:01:45.

Professor Sykes put DNA from supposed yeti remains found in the

:01:46.:01:49.

Himalayas through a huge database of animal DNA- and found a 100% match

:01:50.:01:52.

with an ancient species of polar bear not seen on earth for 40,0 0

:01:53.:01:56.

years. The Professor thinks it's proof that at least the Himalayan

:01:57.:02:00.

version of the Yeti exists - most likely a mixture of ancient polar

:02:01.:02:08.

bear and a brown bear. The next thing is to, I think, send an

:02:09.:02:14.

expedition to the him Leahs to see what the bears, or whatever they

:02:15.:02:19.

are, look like, how they behave and how they could have been the source

:02:20.:02:27.

of the yeti legend. Professor Sykes' research suggests

:02:28.:02:31.

that it could have been shorter measuring in at 5ft tall. Living in

:02:32.:02:38.

the him Leahs, where many humans cannot reach, but until a moving,

:02:39.:02:44.

living yet y ever found, there will be those who wonder. And in

:02:45.:02:50.

connection, Barack Obama has been speaking about the deal that has

:02:51.:02:55.

seen America's two-week shutdown come to an end. Government

:02:56.:03:00.

buildings, parks and even parts of thats area were closed unless

:03:01.:03:04.

politicians found a plan to agree to pay the country's debts. Without it,

:03:05.:03:11.

it could have been a big impact to all of us.

:03:12.:03:15.

This comes town to the cost of borrowing. If you borrow money from

:03:16.:03:19.

somebody, you pay it back with extra. That is the interest rate. If

:03:20.:03:23.

America cannot decide about borrowing money, the money it needs

:03:24.:03:27.

to pay the bills, that means that the people that lend it may start

:03:28.:03:32.

charging at a higher interest rate. It could affect the interest rates

:03:33.:03:36.

that families here, your mum and dad, are charged in this country, if

:03:37.:03:41.

they need money to borrow for a house, card, or credit card bills.

:03:42.:03:46.

And to other news. The special moment when Andy Murray met Prince

:03:47.:03:50.

William. He was at Buckingham Palace to pick up an OBE for services to

:03:51.:03:54.

tennis. The Wimbledon and the Olympic champ said he was nervous

:03:55.:03:59.

about the day. The Queen normally hands out the honours but William

:04:00.:04:03.

took up the Royal duty for the first time today.

:04:04.:04:06.

took up the Royal duty for the first Ask any adult that has gambled, they

:04:07.:04:07.

are likely to tell you that the Ask any adult that has gambled, they

:04:08.:04:13.

this are slim, but this is the exception, it could be! When Harry

:04:14.:04:18.

Wilson was 18-month-old, he placed a bet he would one day play football

:04:19.:04:24.

for Wales so. When 16-year-old Harry played for Wales in the World Cup

:04:25.:04:32.

qualifier, granddad Peter, made ?125,000, enough for him to retire,

:04:33.:04:38.

amazing. And could this be the ugliest kit ever? The Spanish Third

:04:39.:04:49.

Divison side have come up with this broccoli-inspired coloured kit. All

:04:50.:04:56.

because they are living in an area where they make great green veg

:04:57.:05:00.

That it all from me. We
